    Thread size for NukaTap Mini tap handles?

    Does anybody know what the thread size is for a NukaTap Mini? I want to make custom tap handles for a set of NukaTap Mini taps but don't know the actual thread size. The KegLand page says it's M6x0.75. I'm new to taps & dies but have an OMT sets of SAE and metric, including M6x0.75, but if I...

    Advice for calculating bottle priming sugar for partially-carbonated beer?

    Can anyone offer advice on how to calculate the amount of sugar (corn/dextrose, in my case) I'd need to add to each bottle when bottling partially-carbonated beer? For example, with 6 gallons of ale sitting in a FermZilla, 15 PSI at 70F degrees at the end of fermentation. I can easily bottle...

    Could I get some advice on bottling directly from FermZilla using a CP filler?

    I could use some advice from y'all regarding using a counter pressure filler (CPF) going from a FermZilla to bottles. (I'm still saving $ to build a keezer and switch entirely to kegging.) I have a FermZilla 30L All Rounder and plan to pressure ferment at 60-65F, and I can't refrigerate the...

    Advice on reusing yeast for a 2nd batch?

    I've been reading (too much, I think) about reusing yeast for a 2nd (or more) batch of the same lager. I'm new at this, so could use a bit of advice from y'all experts. :) My plan (is it viable?): Brew Marzen batch #1, recover yeast & trudge from primary, wash*, store the yeast until bottling...

    Hops for Märzen?

    I have a good recipe for old Märzen which uses Saaz hops, but I think my IBU is a tad low (8-ish). I was thinking of maybe trying Hallertauer or Tettnanger this Christmas. Thoughts & opinions?
